Is your EV battery at risk of failing? 🔋⚡ In the context of vehicle electrification, the automotive industry is taking several key steps to ensure the safety and durability of vehicle batteries. Rigorous testing protocols are in place to evaluate battery performance, thermal management and response to abuse conditions like overcharging, short circuits, and crashes. Battery aging is being looked at intensively, and even more is battery thermal runaway, for very good reasons. Durability simulation allows frontloading the mechanical design, optimizing the structure and developing a valid accelerated scenario for component testing. A typical objective of the optimization is to reach the lightest possible battery frame while ensuring good durability performance. Typical optimization parameters include the cross sections and material thickness of the battery frame, as well as the bolt positions of the attachment to the body. Tools like HEEDS and NX, from our Simcenter portfolio are helping with that optimization. And no, your battery is not going to fail! Check out the link in comments for a deep dive 🔗
